Henry Lab ,uchere.

Henry Lahouehcre. editor Of Truth
and member OF Parliament, was for
several years after the War, Secretary OF
the English Legation in Washington.
He Is remembered here as q. very bright
and very wild young man. He knew
everybody and figured in. society of all
grades. His Bohemian instincts led
him to all sorts of adventures and
brought him into large notoriety.
His Astounding humor frequently de-
veloped into practical jokes.
One day rather green member OF
Congress called at the Legation and
asked il he could see the Minister.
"You can sec me; am his secretary"
said Labouchere.
"But want TO see the Minister" said
the Congressman.
THE Minister is not in"
''All right, I'll wait for him"
Certainly. sir; have seat.
The Congressman took chair and q
newspaper, lighted cigar, and settled
down for comfortable time of it. An
hour passed. He turned to Labouchere,
who sat reading novel, and asked:
do you know when he. will be
backP"
II do moi" was the curt reply. The
Congressman lighted another cigar and
strolled about the office until another
hour was gone.
do you think he will be back this

Tomorrow,

well, when win he probably be
herep"
Really. sir. cannot tell you. The
Minister sailed for England yesterday
and did not Indicate when he intended
to return, replied Labouchere, without
lifting his eyes from his book.
Aabouchere was promoted from the
Secretarysllip Of tho Lgation in WASH
ington to u similar position with the
English Legation ut Vienna. There he
was known as The liVeliest Briton at the
Court and many AFRO the tales that are

ract He hopes to be able to begin ex-
cavations in Crete in the spring. on bis
return from Egypt.
Originally he had intended resuming
his work ut Mykenc. in the hope Of dis
covering the palace OF the Atreide.
His calculation wiis that about one
hundred laborers would DO necessary.
during three years. for removing the
accumulated debris in the acropolis and
In the lower town. However. the Greek
Archaeological society resolved upon
taking the matter in hand, and has
been engaged on the work since June
last. Owing to tho smaller number Of
laborers employed (sixteen) the work
has gone on slowly. No gold orna-
ments have been found except a gold
wire In spirals. The surmise that
prehistoric building would come to
light has been verified.
On this subject DIR. Schliemann writes
to q friend: "A fortnight ago was at
Mykena, and have convinced myself
that on the summit of the rock the
foundations OF the prehistoric edifice
have really been found. But they have
afterward been altered and evidently
used for Doric structure probably q
temple. The prehistoric building seems
to have been the old palace. OF the
walls no trace IS preserved. On the
other hand. at the south side. below
the summit one-half OF hall and
little room have been brought to light
which seems to belong TO tine old palace
all the more so as In the hall itself
one-half Of round hearth, exactly as
In Troy and Tryns. is preserved.
'Of the walls OF this hall. and of the
little room also. portion still exists.
The walls have the same style of build
ing rs those of the Tirynthian palace;
that is. they consist Of lower part of
quarry-stone and clay, and above OF
sun-dried bricks; and they are first
covered with thick layer of clay dress
ing. and then with a walldressing of
lime. This palace has also been de-
stroyed by fire; and the heat was 50
fierce that nothing has been preserved
OF the wall paintings ia sita. In the
rubble. however, several pieces of paint
ed wall plaster were found i also
found some such at Mykene in 1876"
No further excavations have been
made on the slope Of the castle rock.
On the tower terrace. where the laborers
were afterward set to work-that is, to
the right of DE-. Schliemann's former ex-
cavations-a small house with three
little rooms was discovered. In the
largest of these the fireplace is in the
center Gas is always the case), and in
good preservation. With the exception
Of some fragments of terra-cotta vases
and idols, no finds dating back to
prehistoric epoch have been made. A
Doric capital was found which seems
to belong to the later building on the
summit of the rock.-The Acadensu.

Cheap Lightning Rods.

Cnfap lightning K0uS.
The lightning last Wednesday caused
loss to this county of several thousand
dollars. The buildings that suffered
most were barns and hay sheds. This
suggests that good ghtning rod, that,
while not very ornamental, shall pos
sess the virtues of efficiency and cheap
ness, will be in demand. The follow
ing plan. l believe, will answer the de-
mand. Take two or three common
barbed wires such as are used fer fenc-
ing. Twist or braid them loosely to-
gether, and set them tolerably deep in
the earth-say eight or ten feet. A
hoe for this purpose can be made with
a crow-bar or any round bar of iron or
steel-(One thing that everybody should
remember is that the lower end Of
every lightning rod should always be in
moist or wet earth--)This braided or
twisted wire should now be fastened on
the sides Of the building by means Of
pieces of stout wire fastened around it
with one end driven into the building.
The building will be safer if the rod is
kept few inches away from contact
with the boards. Ii hay she'd is roded
board should be placed between the
rod and the nay. TIE upper end Of
this rod should reach sever al feet above
the roof The theory is that lightning
rcd will protect surface having q
diameter equal to twice the height Of
the rod above the roof. Now This is to
be a useful rod, not an ornamental one
and there is no way by which pretty
weather vane can be made TO work, and
there is no need of bright and finely
pointed tips or points costing four or
five dollars each In order that points
may not be in any way lacking the
wires at The upper end of the rod should
all be UNFINISHED or separated for about
a foot or eighteen inches down and be
made to stand out 10 different direc-
tons If the rod as il is twisted is not
stout enough 10 stand alone, it may be
braced as lightning rods usually are.
If one rod be set into the ground on
one side of the building aud one on the
other and fastened together at tho
upper end they will be still more ETH
cient. II preferred the wires may be
laid straight along side by side on the
ground and be bound together by a
copper wire wound around the bundle
from one end TO the other, making one
round in distance of two or three feet,
Copper wire is most excellent con-
ductor Of electricity and copper
liz htning rod stands rs one of the best
in the market Glass insulators may be
used if desired and easily obtained or
made, but they are not essential 10 the
safety Of the building. Insulators may
be made from bottles by breaking the
bottoms of them out through setting
them in hot water. A rod made as de-
scribed above willipregent more surface
for carrying off electricity than any
other rcd ordinarily sold bY the regular,
consolidated lightning rod companies.
any one of whom will charge from
twenty-five 10 one hundred or more
dollars for rodding your buildings.
